scCamAge: A context-aware prediction engine for cellular age, aging-associated bioactivities, and morphometrics by Vishakha Gautam, Subhadeep Duari, Saveena Solanki, Mudit Gupta, Aayushi Mittal, Sakshi Arora, Anmol Aggarwal, Anmol Kumar Sharma, Sarthak Tyagi, Rathod Kunal Pankajbhai, Arushi Sharma, Sonam Chauhan, Shiva Satija, Suvendu Kumar, Sanjay Kumar Mohanty, Juhi Tayal, Nilesh Kumar Dixit, Debarka Sengupta, Anurag Mehta, Gaurav Ahuja

“…We present scCamAge, an advanced context-aware multimodal prediction engine that co-leverages image-based cellular spatiotemporal features at single-cell resolution alongside cellular morphometrics and aging-associated bioactivities such as genomic instability, mitochondrial dysfunction, vacuolar dynamics, reactive oxygen species levels, and epigenetic and proteasomal dysfunctions. scCamAge employed heterogeneous datasets comprising ∼1 million single yeast cells and was validated using pro-longevity drugs, genetic mutants, and stress-induced models. scCamAge also predicted a pro-longevity response in yeast cells under iterative thermal stress, confirmed using integrative omics analyses. …”

Multi-omic spatial effects on high-resolution AI-derived retinal thickness by V. E. Jackson, Y. Wu, R. Bonelli, J. P. Owen, L. W. Scott, S. Farashi, Y. Kihara, M. L. Gantner, C. Egan, K. M. Williams, B. R. E. Ansell, A. Tufail, A. Y. Lee, M. Bahlo

“…The macula is disproportionately affected by high disease burden retinal disorders such as age-related macular degeneration and diabetic retinopathy, which both involve metabolic dysregulation. Analysis of common genomic variants, metabolomic, blood and immune biomarkers, disease PheCodes and genetic scores across a fine-scale macular thickness grid, reveals multiple novel genetic loci including four on the X chromosome; retinal thinning associated with many systemic disorders including multiple sclerosis; and multiple associations to correlated metabolites that cluster spatially in the retina. …”
